Our Binding Love: My Gentle Tyrant

What’s the Real Truth? (1)

“What can I do?” Wen Ze really wanted to help.
If he couldn’t contribute anything to the emperor in these dire moments, it would be detrimental for everyone one of them.

Ye Mu leaned closer to him, whispering the plan in his ear.

“Find someone who looks similar to the Silent Master?” Wen Ze had a puzzled expression.

Ye Mu nodded, “I noticed that the Flower Knight who was killed by the Empress Dowager today had a face very similar to the Silent Master.
I think that there could be a connection between the two.”

Wen Ze agreed, “I understand.
There aren’t many that look like the Silent Master, but this official will do his best to find someone who matches his likeness.”

Ye Mu bowed her head.
Afterwards, they exchanged a few more words before Wen Ze eventually left.
Mo Linyuan couldn’t help but ask,

“These past few years, you’ve been spending time with the Silent Master and have become quite acquainted with him.
What are your thoughts on the Silent Monk?”

Ye Mu didn’t hesitate to reply, “I feel that he is a great guy!”

Ye Mu’s words made Mo Linyuan a little upset.
However, after pondering for a bit… The other guy was just a simple monk, so what was the big deal?

He pulled Ye Mu towards him and pinched her chin to meet her gaze.
His phoenix-like eyes assessed her with a droopy, slumber-like appearance.

“Besides being a great guy… What else?”

Ye Mu contemplated, before she remarked, “Honestly I know that, these past few years, you have been suspicious of the Silent Master.
However, he has helped me suppress my evil energy.
Plus, he seems genuine and doesn’t find me bothersome… But I sense that the Silent Monk and the Empress Dowager have a relationship that we can’t even fathom.
He doesn’t seem like someone who would yield under the influence of power, let alone, someone who indulges in worldly mortal affairs to gain advantages.”

“You trust him to that extent?” Mo Linyuan narrowed his eyes.
His refined jaw shifted as he clenched his teeth with a somewhat sullen expression.

Ye Mu reached out to grab onto his sleeve, “I’m not saying I trust him.
I am just trusting my own intuition! Besides, I already have my own arrangements of how I’ll handle this.”

Mo Linyuan didn’t want to continue discussing this.
To change the subject, his hands reached aside to grab a book.
Within it held two small maps.

“Can you take a look at this…?”

“…The city boundary map?!” Ye Mu’s eyes bulged out when she saw them.
Elated, she questioned, “Were these from the Zhou and Zhong family residence?”

Mo Linyuan nodded, “The Empress Dowager also has one piece.
Before I got ahold of these two sections, the Empress Dowager sent someone to look for these two, most definitely because she did not want to have them fall into our hands.”

Ye Mu, feeling a little smug, and proudly exclaimed, “But they still fell in our possession!”

Having spoken, she happily skipped towards the wall on the other end to press a secret button.
Instantly, a hidden passage appeared before her and revealed another piece of the city boundary map.
Uniting this with the other two, she discovered that there was still one big piece missing at one of the most important parts of the geographical design.

“Ah… I wonder when we will finally collect the whole map!”

After her initial enthusiasm passed, Ye Mu now felt a little melancholic.
Since the beginning, she knew that this map would be very difficult to obtain… Now that so many years have already passed, there is still hope.

Mo Linyuan, having witnessed her excitement, couldn’t help but chuckle before he asked, “Do you really want the treasures that badly?”

Since he had raided the two big influential families, the state treasury was now full of wealth.
Seeing her behavior, he laughingly stated, “Anything in my state treasury is all yours.
Yet, you still want more treasures? You truly are a little money grubber!”

Ye Mu laughed nervously.
She carefully hid the map and placed it back inside the hidden passway before she replied subconsciously, “Actually, I am not interested in the money at all!”

Having said this, she almost accidently told the real truth.
But once she remembered Mo Linyuan had feelings for her, she once again subconsciously resisted spilling the beans.

“Oh? Then what do you want the map for then?”
